Plug sockets are definitely one of the most important electrical fixtures to be installed in premises. Every establishment, be it a home, an office or even a store requires quite a few of these to run their appliances. Chargers, TVs, kitchen and home care appliances like microwave and washing machines, water heaters, computers or even office equipment, all of them require wall sockets to run.

Build and Design: The sockets are available in different materials and designs. A good material must be chosen to ensure that it can withstand high load and heat without being damaged. A stainless steel plug socket is one of the best as it is sturdy and has a great finish. It can fit seamlessly into different decors. It is also easy to clean and is rust proof making it last longer.

Number of Sockets: Different wall sockets may have different number of plugs. Some of these may include a single plug with switch while others may have two or more plugs with their respective switches on a single fixture. A socket with an adequate number of plugs may be chosen depending on need.
